Last week the former Reds striker revealed that he would be turning out in front of the Kop again for the Liverpool FC Foundation game on Sunday March 29 but the Barcelona ace was only expected to have a cameo role due to the Uruguayans’ friendly in Morocco the previous day.

However, it now seems that the 28-year-old has swerved the trip to North Africa completely after committing himself to the fixture on Merseyside that will see two sides captained by homegrown heroes Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher.

Suarez has been omitted from Oscar Tabárez 27-man Uruguay squad and instead is expected to join the likes of other former Reds favourites Fernando Torres, Xabi Alonso, Dirk Kuyt and Pepe Reina plus the likes of Thierry Henry, John Terry and Didier Drogba for the star-studded fundraiser.
